Harrogate Cemetery, Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Harrogate, England
The cemetery contains 1,017 graves marked with white headstones, including 23 from World War I and 988 from World War II, arranged in neat rows.
Established during World War II, the cemetery became the final resting place for numerous airmen who perished during training missions at nearby RAF bases.
The cemetery holds the remains of Brian Sinclair, who served as inspiration for the character Tristan Farnon in the series All Creatures Great and Small.
Located on Wetherby Road next to the municipal cemetery, the site maintains detailed records accessible through the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database.
The cemetery features a memorial plaque dedicated to 12 World War II servicemen who received cremation at Harrogate Crematorium rather than traditional burial.
